Fall Time!

Hey Y'all!

So I haven't updated in while. Sorry.

Pictures: (top to bottom) 1. Jillian and me at the gardens. 2. Utah in the Fall with Wasatch Mountains. View from the gardens. 3. The girls I roomed with at RAppin (r.a. conference in Colorado.) Amanda L., Ashley M, and me in our room.

That weekend I spent in Colorado for my job turned out to be very fun. It was nice to get away from school. I definitely appreciate BYU more and the many issues we do not have to deal with. I made some awesome friends with other r.a.'s.

This past weekend was very busy. Jillian came to visit me from byu-i. We went to the gardens at Thanksgiving Point. I drove a golf cart. And I must say that it is my new favorite hobby. It is absolutely gorgeous in Utah during the fall. I love the leaves and the mountains. Not so much the cold. (Though I did get a new american eagle blue puffy-ish coat from Downeast Basics this week for $30. yay for steals)

Saturday night I went on a date and had a wonderful time. Afterwards I went with Jillian to Eagle Mountain and we played games...with energy drinks. I learned my lesson, and will no longer be consuming large amounts of energy drinks in one night or at all. I was sick 'til Sunday night. I love it when she comes to visit. She makes my life more lively.

When I went shopping with my roommate for that coat on Monday, we stopped at Sally's. I bleached a strip of my hair and then dyed it pink (technically candy apple red). My roommate did too. We've pretty much started a new fad. I've never done anything to my hair before, so it was quite thrilling. I learned my hair goes red with bleach instead of blonde.

This week will be pretty hectic. I've got a couple papers and several tests coming up. Time to buckle down. If that is possible. Everyone is getting excited for Halloween. I've got a carnival going on in my building the night before. I am just thankful I do not have to work Halloween night, because I am sure it will be a nightmare. Literally. I haven't decided what I'm going to be. Possibly a cowgirl. Although I think it would bomb if I was Pocohantas too.

November is creeping up. It's unbelievable that I have already been back at school for 2 months. I feel like I am doing so much better this school year. I love my roommates. My job is awesome and provides me so many opportunities. I love writing in my journalism classes.
Anyways...that's it for the week.
